Ups and downs
The Sun transits in square in the fourth field in Scorpio , where it meets the New Moon on November 20. Mercury and Mars also transit in Scorpio , respectively until October 29 (then again from November 19) and until November 4, after which they begin a warm trine in the fifth field in Sagittarius . Venus however, continues its harmonious sextile in the third field in Libra until November 6, then moves into Scorpio itself. Among the slower planets, Pluto is in opposition to the first decan at the beginning Aquarius ; Uranus remains in Gemini , sextile the first degrees, until November 8, then returns dissonant at the end Taurus . Overall, it seems like a month of ups and downs, with some confused or nervous moments on October 23 and 29, and November 5, 6, 18, and 19. But you have no shortage of resources to take advantage of good days like October 24 and 25, November 3, 7, 11, 15, 16, 20, and 21.
Avoid forcing
Mars 's square in Scorpio began on September 22nd and, as we've seen, will end on November 4th. But even though the red planet will then form an excellent trine , some traces of fatigue are to be expected. It's no coincidence that Venus will replace it, and Mercury itself, in retrograde phase will return to Scorpio on November 19th, in retrograde motion, reviving the dissonance already suspended on October 29th. Let's be clear: it's true that there will be a general improvement, both emotionally and physically, but the fatigue you're feeling suggests avoiding excessive behavior or forced decisions, giving yourself time to process recent experiences and feelings. Perhaps there's still something to clarify, understand, verify, or change, first within yourself and then extending to your most important relationships: with your partner, friends, family, and, for some, even with close collaborators. In short, it's certainly not a matter of stifling legitimate relief, much less the new enthusiasm that's resurfacing in your thoughts, plans, and motivations! Rather, it's simply a matter of not wasting this creative energy with actions—or rather, reactions—bound by contingent stimuli and therefore impulsive and improvised. You can make effective progress, as long as the goals are as clear as the paths to reach them; and as long as, of course, you accept that these paths may require pauses for reflection and various adjustments.
Joining forces
Some problems at home or in your family are possible, perhaps due to disagreements over financial decisions or simply differing habits or opinions. Even at work, there seems to be some tension, amid bickering and rivalry. Later, you may prefer to act alone, which will help you be more efficient, but at the cost of further fatigue and considerable psychological and physical stress. Try to proceed methodically, following a few clear priorities, and staying focused without demanding too much, either from yourself or from your colleagues. As I mentioned above, some initiatives may merit review, reflection, or it may be appropriate to slow down your pace to optimize your mental and practical resources. In the first part of the astrological month, relationships are fairly protected: Venus in the third field supports dialogue, although work-related stress may manifest itself in occasional moodiness or a tendency to withdraw into sullen introspection. Even in the face of trivial, and likely fleeting, misunderstandings, it's important to seek the necessary clarifications so as not to lead to unpleasant misunderstandings or, worse, petty resentments that could later turn into bitterness. Beware of jealousy, pride, and the whims of emotion. Addressing daily concerns together can strengthen the bond and make it more intimate, knowing that joining forces is always more effective than futile recriminations.
First decade
Mercury is in trine from October 29th to November 19th, flanked by Mars from November 4th to 18th. Venus on the other hand, is dissonant from November 6th to 14th. Despite some friction with your partner or family members, you will be able to intervene with a proactive spirit to talk and listen, even in work discussions and in any negotiations you will be able to propose mediations or find solutions.
Second decade
Venus is in a good sextile from October 22nd to 30th, but will move quickly enough to square from November 14th to 22nd. Meanwhile, starting November 18th, Mars will bring you its trine . Overall, you have the resources to prevent or, at worst, resolve some relationship issues. The important thing is that you know how to defend your opinions while respecting those of others.
Third decade
Mercury is dissonant until October 29th, Mars until November 4th; while Venus is in sextile from October 30th to November 6th. Ups and downs are also in store for you, especially in your home and family life, where there may be tensions to manage. Things will improve gradually and spontaneously, but you must commit to dedicating time and attention to your loved ones.
